Al Horford — a native of the Dominican Republic — happens to be married to fellow Dominican Amelia Vega. In 2003, Vega became the first Dominican woman to be named Miss Universe. And it’s easy to see why… She’s a singer, actress, and aspiring business-woman, owning two clothing boutiques in Miami named “Essence By Amelia Vega.” Horford and Vega were married on Christmas Eve in 2011, and had their first child — a son named Ean — in February of 2015.

Although she “hates cold weather” Mrs. Horford still loves living in Boston. When you have as much money as the Horford family — the Celtics signed Horford for $113 million — you can splurge on a Caribbean getaway if you want to escape the snow.
